Understanding Geospatial Data in Optioneer
5 min
understanding data in optioneer optioneer works with two distinct types of geospatial data β gis data (uploaded within project layers ) and network features understanding the difference between them is key to getting the most out of the platform gis data (project layers) gis data forms the foundation of optioneer's analysis it represents real world conditions and constraints β such as existing infrastructure, protected areas, land use, and elevation β that inform how optioneer evaluates and generates potential solutions gis data comes in two forms vector β represents discrete real world features such as buildings, roads, and zoning boundaries raster β represents continuous data across an area, such as elevation or bathymetry gis data is pre loaded into optioneer and supplemented by the docid\ hkupeavkacpix2lvlvup it cannot be modified or downloaded from within optioneer you can also upload your own gis data β see docid\ n qajovpe3tc2ksqo zkq for more information viewing gis data to view your project's gis data, open project layers data is organized into vector and raster sections, listed alphabetically by data source from here you can click the icon to the left of a data source to display all of its layers on the map use the drop down to expand a data source and toggle individual layers access the docid jhfpa5faxkouptffawap from within the vector section to view and manage layer properties in detail network features network features are project specific elements that your team creates and edits directly within optioneer unlike gis data, they can be modified and downloaded from within optioneer points β represent specific locations such as substations or tee off points, defined by latitude and longitude lines β represent linear features such as route centerlines, sections, or rights of way polygons β represent areas such as substation footprints, laydown areas, landfalls, or search corridors customizing network features all network features can be named and assigned a category customized for appearance β including fill, color, and opacity toggled on or off for visibility permanently deleted from the project global visibility and labeling can be controlled from map controls under layer visibility map controls map controls give you additional ways to view and navigate your project space from here you can basemaps β switch between a range of background map styles to suit your working context 3d view β toggle a three dimensional view of the project area to better understand terrain and spatial relationships layer visibility β control the global visibility of network features and options generated through create options across your project labels β toggle labels on or off for network features displayed on the map not sure what's on the map? use the point inspection tool click anywhere on the map to activate the point inspection tool it shows you which results, network features, and gis layers exist at that location β even for layers that are not currently visible once open, use the options , layers , and objects tabs to explore what's at that point explore more https //shared archbee space/doc/mjagkoskoam1osif ftip/4dagdctl5e phfjukmnkk https //shared archbee space/doc/dy5fc3p7blr4vkda9j1za/izojb0 4l48eraekmhhf https //shared archbee space/doc/gkezv3rgh6bdgt wvojm6/ssj9zklkmy8 ma biamtf https //shared archbee space/doc/6xps2bofrvtolh6nwl3ng/hzra5imjt9q y1kwrnls https //shared archbee space/doc/skmc dgthrasxesish 7v/ikdzc vztwqumehshzffo https //shared archbee space/doc/qpo3dzosn9umh9itremho/wjkxnxdgjm6etlivlisqm
